RIMLESS-EYE GLASS MOUNTING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 11, 1908.

Application filed November 4, 1907. Serial No. 400,676.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LAUREL MILo IIOYT, a citizen of the United States, residing at I-Iillsbore, in the county of Washington and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rimless-Eyeglass Mountings; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in rimless eye-glass mountings and has for its object to provide a mounting which while extremely light presents a particularly strong and ri id construction.

With this 0 ject in view my invention consists in providing the strap which engages the periphery of the eye-glass with an upper and a lower. reinforcing brace in such manner that the strap and glass are held rigidly in position and will not become wabbly.

Referring to the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is an elevation showing a pair of eye-glasses illustrating the application of my invention, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of strap and brace on a greatly enlarged scale.

Like numerals of reference indicate the same parts throughout theseveral figures in which:

1 indicates the glasses and 2 the mounting. The mounting comprises the usual spring bridge 3 and the strap 4, said strap 4 being provided with a post 5. Connected to the post 5 at the inner end thereof is an upper brace 6 and a lower brace 7, said braces 6 and 7 extending to the outer ends of the strap 4 and being connected thereto as clearly shown in the drawing. By this construction the parts can be, if desired, much lighter than is the usual custom, thereby saving material, while at the same time the construction presents a strong rigid mounting.

As is evident from Fig. 2 the arc of the strap 4 can be adjusted to conform to glasses of different sizes by slightly bending the braces 6 inwardly or outwardly.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is,

An eye-glass mounting of the character described, comprising a strap for engagement with the periphery of an eye-glass, a post for said strap and an upper and a lower brace extending from the ends of said strap to the inner end of said post, substantially as described. I

In testimony whereof, I afIiX my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

LAUREL MILO HOYT.
